Day of Rivals

The Day of Rivals is perhaps the most anticipated lacrosse event of the year. This event takes place at the Baltimore Ravens stadium in Maryland. It also showcases the two bestrivalries in College lac rosse, Army vs. Navy and Johns Hopkins vs. Maryland. The Army Navy game puts pride and passion on the line, while the Hopkins Maryland game is back yard bragging rights. This year the underdogs Army look to sink Navy. While the Maryland upeerclassmen look to defeat a young Hopkins squad. This game will also determine who could win the Patriot league tournament which will give either Army or Navy an autpomatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Alos Hopkins is struggling coming off a 4 game losing streak and are at risk to not make the Ncaa tournament but a win over the number 3 terps will give them a great shot. All in All it should be a fun and beautiful day for lacrosse.

Guidos are not bros

Guidos are not be mistaken for bros, first guidos wear way too much gel in their hair, more than anyone should wear. Guidos are guys with designer jeans, shaved eyebrows, and muscle tees in the corner jumping up and down and pumping their fists. They also tend to have a 365 day tan no matter what season it is. A guido party is a repetitive thumping of music and flashing lights and peole going crazy fistpuming looking like clowns. Bros were aware about their dislke of guidos well before the show "Jersey Shore". Guidos think they can do and say aything because they think their all connected to the mafia, when really their just everyday people.

Mustache March

Mustache March is one of the few times when its acceptable to grow a mustache and not be called a pedifile or have people ask how many STD's you posses in the fur over your upper lip. Don't get me wrong people still may ask you that its just less likely. Generaly a bro would rather be clean shaven, posses a chinstrap or have sweet sideburns. That is why bro's love march because they can let their dirty pedifile mustaches rage and no one can say a thing.

Lacrosse an olympic sport?

Lacrosse has been dominated by the Americans, who have won the World Championship every year except 1978, when they lost to Canada. Since then the World Championship has multiplied in size, in terms of teams competing. The countries taking part were Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Iroquois Nation, Japan, Scotland, Sweden, United States, and Wales. Although it is played in many countries the United States is still expected to dominate. The Iroquois have been competing against other countries since the 19th Century, but were not allowed to participate in the World Championship or Olympics until 1990 because the box lacrosse leagues they played in were considered professional in nature and therefore they were not able to play in amateur competition. It did not take long for th Iroquois to be eligible to play, their winless streak did not last long either. Their first win came in the 1994 games, when they defeated newcomer Japan twice. Many people in the lacrosse community talk about attempting to re-include lacrosse in the Olympic games. But because they only had 11 countries show in the 1998 world championship they are unable to make it an olympic sport because it need 75 countries. This means that lacrosse must further develop in 12 countries and grow to 47 others in order to become an Olympic sport.

Olympic Medal Count

United States:37
Germany:30
Canada:26
Norway:23
Austria:16
Russian Federation:15
Korea:14
China:11
Sweden:11
France:11

Well you cant argue with numbers. The United States yet again proves itself to be the most powerful country in the world. We use these olympic games to show other countries that we are in fact superior to them.




Sean White won the Gold medal this olympics in the snowboard halfpipe, Fellow American Scott Lago came in third. A good showing for the United States.








Apolo Ohno earned one silver and two bronze medals for speed skating. All in all Great winter olympics for BROmerica, im sure our athletes will not dissapoint in London.

There were alot of games this weekend for collge lacrosse, college basketball and of course Olympic hockey.
Game #1 A lacrosse game that captured everyones attention was the one goal win of #5 ranked Johns Hopkins over an unranked Siena. Clearly this had little to nothing to do with Dave Pietromala (Johns Hopkins Coach). He has proved him self over and over again to the lacrosse community. So What could have brought about this close game? The answer Brent Hurbst. Hurbst Siena's goaltender from Long Island played phenomonal in Sunday's game. He kept it relatively low scoring and made some fantastic saves.



Game#2 The Syracuse Orange really took it to Villanova this weekend in front of a sell-out crowd. The Carrier Dome was absoloutley filled and broke an attendance record with 34,618 people.



Game#3 It was a heartbreaker for the U.S. hockey team. A team that entered the olympics as an underdog and came out silver medalists. The U.S. was able to tie the score in the final minutes to force an overtime. But the U.S. simply could not hold back the offensive power that is Sidney Crosby and he put one in the back of the net to win the gold for Canada.

Bro of the Week

Who? Mick Maclaverty ( Brantford Winstonworth)

Claim to "Bro"fame- The Ultimate Lax Bro 1 and 2

Why is he a Bro?- For a long time lacrosse players(at least the good ones) have discovered how lacrosse is the most bro sport there is. If one was to look at the values of most lacrosse players many may question how they can be that bro and still be for lack of a better word absoloutely disgusting at a competitive sport. At this point your probably wondering how this relates to Mick Maclaverty? The two subjects have a deep connection. Maclaverty opened this relationship to the eyes of almost everyone in the lacrosse community and other outsiders. He inspired the writers at 90% of lax is in the flow to start there group and has also made turf dogs, mid calfs, pastel shorts , a pinnie and a sweet pair of shades and hat a staple in the lacrosse community.

Games of the Week

Jacksonville (13) vs. Denver (12) (Lacrosse)











To start off the Lacrosse weekend, Jacksonville University upset number 18 Denver. It is Jacksonville's First Win since moving to Division 1 this year. Denver was up 10-4 but it proved an unsafe lead when Jacksonville came back to win the game 13-12 in triple overtime.



Usa (5) Vs. Canada (3) (Hockey)












In this olympic preliminary the young USA beat the talanted Canadians in an exciting one. The U.S. scored first but the Canadians Kept it close. An empty net goal by USA's Ryan Kessell late in the third period put the game away. This game was especially exciting for bros because bros are very patriotic and love america. This was a great win for the red white and blue.

Bro of The Week: Tucker Max

Height 6'0

Weight: 190

Highschool: Blair Highschool

College: University of Chicago

Grad School: Duke



Who is Tucker Max?

Tucker Max is one of the biggest bro's this world has known. he currently has out a book and a movie. These were made based on his life and events that happened to him.



Why is he a Bro?

For all the simple people out there who cannot see the absoloute "bro"ness radiating off of Tucker Max then you should seriously reconsider the legitimacy of callign yourself a bro. He gets paid to drink do something outrageous(i.e. making fun of people and "getting with" slampieces). He essentially gets paid for being a huge bro.



Famous Tucker Quotes (tuckermax.com)

" Did you know there are midgets in milwaukee"

"I heard about "dry" counties before but they were still an abstract and foriegn concept"

"You f***** cheese eating surrender monkey. I tohught someone stunk around here. So if i start speaking German can I take all of your stuff?"

College Lacrosse Opening Weekend

This weekend was openign weekend for college lacrosse. The start of a brand new season. Theirs new match ups and old rivalries. With such a crushing defeat at the end of last season Cornell is looking to make another run for the title this year.
Some notable bro standouts from this weekend include Ned Crotty, Duke; Scott Rodgers, Notre Dame; and Cody Jamieson, Syracuse. There were also some surprising upsets this weekend that leaves one questioning the validity of Inside lacrosses pre-season Poll. Notre Dame ranked #9 accordign to inside lacrosse defeated #1 Duke this weekend with an 11-7 win. Duke had a good pre-season defeating the USA team. This most likely made them over confident going into the Notre Dame contest. However with outstanding players on Duke such as Max Quinzani and Ned Crotty one may question the coaching at Duke. However the season is still young and the play will certainly pick up in the coming weeks.

Take A "Broke"

Bros love to joke around at other people's expense. This form of joking is labelled as a "broke", a bro-joke. They enjoy talking about, making fun of, and poking fun at others for their own pleasure and entertainment. Now this could be seen as cruel, but a true bro can take a "broke". Women are a classic subject of a good "broke". The mantra of a bro is "Treat em like dirt, they'll stick to you like glue". A woman worth showing attention is a woman who can laugh at and take a good "broke". Bros also take part in "broking around" with each other. In a group of bros, there is always one bro who is the butt of every "broke" that they can think of. Robert "FFF" Wardwell is subject to this friendly abuse daily by his fellow bros. Bobby is widely known to typically put himself in situations where it's easy to "broke around" with him. Rather than be intimidated by this however, he is also known to laugh at himself while his friends laugh at him. Now that's a true Bro. Bros will claim that a "broke" is never a personal jab, so lighten up bro haters, take a "broke"!

Valentines Day=Feminest Day

Today as you all may know it is, February 14th, and that my fellow brothern is a day each of us Bros hate, Valentine’s Day. On Valentine’s Day you are supposed to get that "Special Someone" a gift and tell them how you love them and all that other stuff. I believe feminist women decided to coin this day because they were greedy, narcissistic, materialistic, gold digging women who wanted more things. Since when did they need more stuff? I mean it was Christmas only a month or so ago. Bros Joe Ferraro and Tyler Ballantyne believe "Women, mad selfish, they only want one thing and that is your money." But sometimes a Bro does get caught up in the Valentine’s Day massacre. Nick Hourigan was forced into this "I hate it, why does this girl I casually see think I have to take her out? I mean, its preposterous, women are crazed to the point of psychotic delusion." See all my fellow brothern, never ever commit yourself to this debacle.

P.S. After 20 years of committed Valentines days, even Bill Clinton went crazy...thank you Monica Lewinsky
Thank you Mike Daly for another mindful, brospective on the matter.

What is A Bro?

Urban dictionary defines a bro as "Obnoxious partying males who are often seen at college parties. When they aren’t making an ass of themselves they usually just stand around holding a red plastic cup waiting for something exciting to happen so they can scream something that demonstrates how much they enjoy partying. Nearly everyone in a fraternity is a bro but there are also many bros who are not in a fraternity. They often wear a rugby shirt and a baseball cap. It is not uncommon for them to have spiked hair with frosted tips." Although some of this may be true, this quote was said by a "bro hater" who does not truly understand what a bro is. It is hard to describe what a bro is, but generally a bro is a white suburban male who loves to have fun and play the most famous bro past time..... Lacrosse.
